    I'm sure it's not original but a FB quote regarding the right's reaction to his bow made me laugh yesterday, to wit: "If Obama walked on water the right would say 'Obama can't swim.'" #barackobama

    Even with the insane dramz that continue to ensue on the national political stage, I for one celebrate the return of good manners to American foreign policy. #barackobama

    Maybe Obama should start kicking world leaders in the nuts when he meets them. To show how strong he is.

    @Penny: Instead of bowing, he should follow that kick with an armpit scratch and a fart. Maybe a good swift kick to the local palace housepets. That's what I'm given to understand passes for polite in Real America.

    (Sorry, I'm in a crass, lousy mood today!)

    I wish we wouldn't even discuss this issue. The criticism is so unwarranted, and so completely ignorant, it pains me to address it. Bowing is a common way of showing respect in Japan. I live in the international district of my city and often exchange this type of greeting with others in a variety of capacities. Acknowledging differing cultural traditions does not result in weakness. Rather, it demonstrates an amount of consideration for the people you are amongst. #barackobama

    @morninggloria: Cheney has long since died, but roams the earth as a revenant, haunting the living.

    And a thousand thousand slimy things lived on ; and so did (he)

    He's spoiled more than a few weddings... #barackobama

    I was about to tell Dick to go die in a fire, but then I remembered that his man-sized safe is probably fireproof. Drat. #barackobama

    Bush Sr. vomited on Japan's Prime Minister and everyone is still standing. I think we'll survive a bow. #barackobama

    You know what shows weakness, Dick? When you're so insecure/full-of-yourself that you refuse to acknowledge that other countries deserve to be acknowledged as equals and just run around yelling OMG USA OMG!!!! for purely jingoistic reasons. #barackobama

    Right now I feel like one of those people who *scoff* totally loved that band when they first came out and now that their 3rd album blew up and they're all over the place, I feel privileged for having always appreciated their brilliance. Or something. #hillaryclinton

    People are about to get both served as well as told.

    She is an amazing executive; as Secy. of State she is no longer having to be 80% politician. Senators, bless their cheap, shallow souls, accomplish nowhere near as much as they could if they weren't having to raise all that fucking money and kiss so much ass all the time.

    She is working, managing, bringing people together, representing her "company," and doing it extremely effectively.

    From where I sit, she finally has the right job. #hillaryclinton
